Brent:
you do beware of the "leader" - "follower" position. If a leader actively also
empowers the follower then (s)he may be responsible for anything that happens
in such empoweredness. Luther conscience-wise, Hitler
materially/organizationally empowered the followers. The 'leader' of the KKK,
or the NRA is responsible for crimes committed in their empowerment.?
The 'judge' is not the killer of the executed criminal, but responsible for the
killing - although many systems give the judge impunity for mistakes. How about
wars?
I take exception to 'poverty' not being a forced oppression: in many systems
the 'upper class' rich people deprive the 'lower class' paupers of means to
elevate economically, although cute scientists explain such development as a
rightful evolution in society. They lie.?
When Boehner urges tax-cuts for the super-rich and deep cuts in benefits for
poor people (and succeeds) that is willful oppression. He personally may not
push a slum-kid into hunger - or crime, but IS responsible nonetheless.?
I was an underdog under both Nazis and Commis, I know what it feels to be
forcibly oppressed. NG!?

He didn't directly kill any, he just motivated the killing.? But then the same
is true of Hitler.
